We have several computers in our home office. To keep warranty information, manuals, and software CDs for each machine organized, we use extra-large magazine files. Each file is neatly labeled with the hostname for the machine. This makes it easy to find materials specific to a given computer whenever you need them, right on the bookshelf.

That looks really nice on the shelf and is a wonderful idea. I’m still working on creating a landing pad at my place. Do tell where you found that Eiffel Tower though..would love one of those above my desk,

Considering all the comments on the look of your home/office, perhaps you should post a picture which shows a whole room. Then, go to town about how this is what uncluttering looks like in action.

Samurphy – I caught that too, seemed odd. Further investigation reveals that the vendor is actually Office Depot, so wondering if its a scale mismatch. Maybe most vendors sell per 100, but Office Depot sells per each or something?

I second motherduce – I almost never save these things at all. In the unlikely event that I ever need them again, they’re almost always available online. I think the only manual I’ve had to go find in the past 5 years was the one for my wireless router, and it was easily available online.
